Wednesday

I'm always up for a warm, organic sounding delay with some stank on it. And the folks at Seymour Duncan have just what the doctor ordered with their newest VAPOR TRAIL Analog Delay.

The video speaks for itself, so I don't have to-- especially since they didn't send me a Vapor Trail demo, just a press release. But that's cool anyway, cuz I'm posting this 22 minutes after the release, which puts this Stratoblogster post on the leading edge of the guitar effects information super-highway. For this morning, at least.

Haven't even had coffee yet. So watch for the Vapor Trail, folks! Wherever better pedals are sold! See release, features and specs below...

The Vapor Trail is a true analog delay pedal using
the famed Bucket Brigade Devices (BBDs), giving the
pedal an authentic, vintage sound with warmth, fullness and depth, but
with an immense clarity that keeps it from getting lost in the mix.
Responsive modulation controls add shimmer and movement to your delay
tone - with the Rate and Depth controls mounted
right on the top panel so you can easily adjust them even in a live
setting. A little delay will add dimension and richness to your sound
while cranking up the controls will provide truly mind-bending sounds.

A TRS insert jack allows you to add
effects to the wet signal (loop the wet delay sound through a flanger,
chorus, or other type of effect). You can also use this jack to output a
wet-only signal for parallel effect loops
or multi-amp setups, or you can plug in any standard volume-type pedal,
crank the Mix knob to full, and vary the amount of wet signal from none
to full-wet using the pedal. At maximum Wet setting, the first echo is
actually 3dB louder than the dry signal. To round out the special features on
this unit, we've made the Delay knob translucent with a cool blue LED
that flashes to give you visual feedback on the delay time you have
selected - especially handy when you're playing
live! The Vapor Trail Analog Delay was designed for ease of use with
knob placement and sturdy materials so it can hold up to the rigors of
life on the road. Each unit is assembled in the Seymour Duncan Factory
in Santa Barbara, California.
